We've been "telecommuting" for almost a year ...
I can tell you that it is largely economically profitable (well it depends what you want because you are not sure to have a fixed income at the end of the day). Or for 2, conso. electric of 200 kWh per month and 1200 L of oil (fuel oil). I doubt that if we had both worked "at 2 km" it would have been better ...
For your hypothesis just check: according to these stats if we worked together we would do about 2 km per day (since we would have 100 vehicles without carpooling of course like 2% of couples) ... either 99,9km per month or 2100 km per year (we will neglect the holidays) at the rate of 25200 L per 5, we are already at 100 * 252 = 5 L ...
In short, roughly speaking, we would double our CO2 emissions ... and I'm very kind on the 5/100 consumption ... on the other hand, the apartment we rent is not very energy-optimized ... it does not prevent teleworking it is "econologically profitable" (except for oil tankers) ...
